Isaiah 1:18. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
There is not as much music, to a poor convinced sinner’s ear, in a whole oratorio of Handel as there is in this one verse of Scripture. But your ear must be attuned to this music before you can appreciate its blessed sweetness. He only knows the music of mercy who knows the misery of sin. I think that must read this precious verse again: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet," - we will not dispute about them; they are all you think they are, and much worse; - "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
